Before going into a full restoration with case colors and soup to nuts, I would ask Brad if he may be able to just clean up the metal to the frame / hammers, etc ... removing any remaining surface rust. Of course it all depends how deep the pits are. You may be looking at re-engraving to the breech balls. If a good cleanup is possible, I would keep the frame "as is" cleaned up and restore the Damascus barrels, and a light cleaning of the wood.
Congrats on a great Parker.
